    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)

    Test Identification CAPIsockets/setsockopt 31
    Problem Summary TSD4U.00211 This test may fail on all implementations.
    Problem Text

    The code for the testcase looks like this:

    socklen_t val_size;
    .
    .
    .

    val.tv_sec = -1;
    val.tv_usec = -1;
    s2 = getsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, &val , &val_size);
    .
    .
    .
    val_size = sizeof(val);
    s2 = getsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, &val, &val_size);

    notice that val_size is not initialized until after the first getsockopt()
    call. The XPG5 XNS spec on page 144 states the following:

    "Description .... If the size of option value is greater than option_len,
    the value stored in the object pointed to by the option_value
    argument will be silently truncated."

    This is causing the above failure on our implementation, the sizeof() statement
    needs to be moved above the first getsockopt() call.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: setsockopt

    TEST PURPOSE #31
    If the implementation supports a communications domain
    and a socket type and allows this option to be set:
    A successful call to int setsockopt(int socket,
    SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, const void *option_value,
    socklen_t option_len) shall set the timeout value
    specifying the amount of time that an output function
    blocks because flow control prevents data from being
    sent for the socket socket.
    TEST: AF_INET SOCK_STREAM
